IMPROVEMENT IN SLEEVE-ADJUSTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 157,218, dated November 24, 1874; application filed October 24, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED PEREGO, of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sleeve-Adjusters, of which the following is a specification Figure l is a view illustrating the use of my improved sleeve-adjuster, and Fig. 2 is a detail view of a shirt-sleeve to which my improvement has been applied.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved attachment for application to the sleeves of shirts and other garments to enable the cuff to be readily raised upon the arm and held above the wrist, so that when at work, or when washing the hands, the cuff may be removed from contact with dust or water, and may thus be kept neat and clean. The invention consists in the combination of a tab or strap provided with a button, buttonhole, hook, or pin, and a button, button-hole, or eyelet, with the cult-band or placat, and the body of a sleeve of a shirt or other under garment, as hereinafter fully described.

A represents the sleeve of a shirt or other under garment, of which a is the cuff or band, and a is the placat. To the placat a, or to the base or seam of the cuff or band a, is attached a strap or tab, B, in which is formed a button-hole to enable it to be buttoned upon the button 0 attached to the sleeve A near the elbow, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Instead of the button-hole, a hook or pin may be placed upon the tab or strap B, and a button-hole or eyelet formed in the sleeve A. If desired, the tab B may be secured to the sleeve A at or near the elbow, and the button or other fastening may be placed at the cuff-band or placat of the sleeve, as may be desired.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of a tab or strap, B, provided with a button-hole, hook, or pin, and a button, button-hole, or eyelet, O, with the cuff-band or placat, and the body of the sleeve A of a shirt or other under-garment, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

. ALFRED PEREGO.
